Picture this. Standing in line at a coffee shop (today it was Starbucks) trying to decide which drink is going to cause you the least problems, there aren't any. Then, in your perusal of the menu you see a section labeled customize your drink and it comes to you in a flash of hope. You can make your drink low fat! How marvelous, you can have your drink and drink it too! So exciting. So you go up to the counter and embarrassedly order your nonfat pumpkin spice latte and even more embarrassedly you refuse the whip cream. (Even though you love that stuff! Being a Gerdie is hard sometimes.)
Why was I embarrassed? Well, that's really the subject of this post. In my experience it always a glamourous and extremely fit woman, or a powerful business man that order nonfat stuff. Those people who you know would have no problem working off the calories, but they are just too good for them. In essence they are snubbing calories. I am embarrassed at the thought of being mistaken for a calorie snob.
So I declare it here and now, I only drink nonfat drinks for medicinal purposes!
